One Waterfall Apiece. I Really Thought I Was About To See A Hat Trick Of Darwin Awards. Notice All Three
One waterfall apiece. I really thought I was about to see a hat trick of Darwin awards. Notice all three people are standing on a damp, slick surface with a level 10, code red deacceleration trauma at the end of a long slide - all for a photo. It was really worrisome to watch people do this. Two other girls were doing the same thing moments before. However, these three seemed so intent on lining up with their own waterfall exit you could hear the moment knocking at the door even above the roar of the crashing water. Luckily, nothing happened. That being said, things like this do happen every day this time of year. Our national parks are stunning places and this hike was one of the best I've undertaken in a long time. So many waterfalls and beautiful scenes. With all that I saw, I couldn't get this potential tradegy out of my head - and it didn't even happen. Be careful as you enjoy an amazing summer. Remember, if you die - that story will be told over and over. Don't let it be a face-palm ending. Stay safe!

Snow Flowers? I have never seen anything like this before. The temperature last night was 6 degrees. My daughter and I went for a hike around noon and the temperature was 27 degrees. I kept seeing these odd white shapes on the ground and initially thought it was trash. Finally, I knelt for a closer look and realized these were ice formations. Beautiful, delicate ice ribbons at the bottom of a certain plant - no other plant. All were found with about 10 - 15 feet of the same altitude. When we hiked up hill just a bit, there was nothing. They look as if a cake maker pipped them onto the base of the plant. So many curving layers, winding around as if windblown or somehow gently forced from the plant. Anyone have any idea how these are formed?
Some pics taken touring a recent photo trip to Kings Canyon National Park. Most people aren't aware of this stunning place. If you haven't, it is worth your time. #Resist #environment #conservation #forest #hiking #beautifulplaces #nature #photography #sony #sonya7riii
Another pic from Alaska near the Lake George Glacier. An amazing place that still feels like you are the first visitor. I was able to see some places in this region with no visible sign of man.
The old Saipan prison originally managed by the Japanese. This tiny island endured a devastating invasion. Live ordinances are still found today. #history #travel #island #adventure
